About Our Client:

Our client has recently graduated from Southampton Solent University, in Sports Management. He has Cerebral Palsy, which primarily affects his mobility and makes daily tasks challenging. He uses a wheelchair but can walk short distances with a walking stick.

As written by him ...

"I am very chatty, friendly and outgoing and would like a similar minded PA who will assist me in making the most of my last year at University! While there will be a lot of coursework to do this year I would like a PA who can remind me to chill out a bit occasionally and help make sure that I take time out for some socialising.

I am mad about all types of sport - especially football and tennis- and would like a PA who can accompany me to matches and tournaments. I also enjoy travel and would love to go inter-railing at the end of my studies.

I love food, especially home cooked food, and enjoy eating out. I am always keen to try new cuisines and am happy to do what I can to help prepare dinner.

Although I love being around people, I do get a little anxious about starting conversations with people that don't know me well. This is why I like my PA to help initiate conversations in social situations until I get comfortable, and then I'm on a roll. "
